• Chocolate & Wine: Why not!!!

  It’s no big secret that I’m a big fan of wine but my other passion is chocolate and my absolute favourite is Lindor truffles by Lindt. So, when I heard that Cioccolateria Carone was hosting a Lindt festival to kick start the festive season, I just had to go! So, I called a couple of…

• Great British Pub In San Vito Dei Normanni: Old Porter

  

  Stepping through the door of the Old Porter Pub in San Vito Dei Normanni, feels like I’ve been transported back to England! The design and attention to detail is incredible and you truly get the feeling of being in a traditional English Pub.

• Evò Bar: Ostuni

  The stunning white city of Ostuni has so many beautiful bars and restaurants that sometimes it’s difficult to decide where to go. But one winters evening, I stumbled upon Evò bar, which is located in the historical city centre, just off Via Cattedrale and I was instantly impressed. The exposed stone walls and barrelled ceiling,…

• Step back in time to relax and unwind: Masseria Cappella

  

  Driving through the Valle D’Itria in Puglia, is always a pleasurable experience but this day was particularly beautiful. The bright blue sky was interspersed with fluffy white clouds, the rolling hills were scattered with old and new Trulli dwellings, and the  curvy, undulating road made the journey even more enjoyable. I was en-route to an…
